how to attention seek via social media

We've all been in a really bad mood and put a depressing something on our facebook, whether it be a depressing lyric, a sad face or simply "fml" and then waited for the SURGE of people you barely talk to get all interested and sympathetic.I've become a bit of a recluse this past week or so and unfortunately I've been spending more time on facebook than I like to admit. I've also done a fair bit of attention seeking myself - as I'm going to demonstrate in this blog.

The "is it a joke or are you genuinely sad? oh no, i wish you wouldn't be so vague!" status.

 

I did the one above and I'm still fairly proud of it. I can't help but see it as really vague, yet somewhat tongue-in-cheek.  Note how I didn't get any comments or "likes". People were too confused over what the status meant to have a public oppinion about it - and that is WHY the "is it a joke or are you genuinely sad? oh no, i wish you wouldn't be so vague!" status is the king of all social media attention seeking. Here are some other examples of this oh-so-vague status- 

• "I feel like death. Not even warmed up - room temperature!!!!!!!!"
• "So dissappointing. Oh well - there is always lesbianism and internet dating :P :P !"
• "Wish I could go back to a time when weeing yourself in a protest would be okay :L"

Joining loads of facebook groups about what youre going through so people take the hint & start caring

  

Everyone loves watching someone go crazy with jealousy, especially if it's through a nice shiny LED screen = paticularly because it means that you won't have to feel the wrath of their imminent verbal explosion. This is more of a girl thing to do - because as bad as boys are at communicating - women are worse. If you've done/are doing something wrong - we won't tell you about it. We'll just wait and get more angry at you for not noticing that we're annoyed at you - and then when you click you've done something terrible we'll go all crazy and say "HOW COULD YOU NOT TELLL!?!?!?!!? I'M GOING MAD HERE OH MY GOD I HATE YOUA RGRGHRHRH"  because thats just what we (I) do.


The video blog of you crying into your childhood bear about the time Sabrina the Teenage Witch got cancelled.

We all loved Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and GOD did we all cry when it got cancelled - but don't expose the wound that Sabrina's departure caused onto the internet. By all means- do it anonymously in forums and weird chat rooms- just remember not to show your face. I don't actually know anyone that has ever done this, but I imagine doing so would be pretty awkward and embarrassing. Nethertheless, I imagine it would get you a lot of "oh my god she's gone insane" type gossip which might make you think you're all interesting and a bit of a kook. Thats what you're after though - ENNIT??!?!!?!

Write a blog about how to attention seek via social media and secretly hope for loads of attention.*

HAPPY NEW GERMAINE GREER EVERYONE!
